The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2658: Chapter 142: Arrival in the Capital City

They escorted Ms.Hua and the others out of the town before returning.

After Ye Haoxuan and his companions’ shadows completely disappeared, Ms.Hua reappeared at the original spot, gazing silently in the direction they departed.

If Ye Haoxuan were here, he would see the glistening water in her eyes.

"Not happy to see your master? Why are you pouting? It’s as if I bullied you."

Li Luru glanced at him, supporting her chin with her hand, and then said briskly, "I was of course happy to see my master, it’s just that the time was too short, we didn’t even have a good conversation before she had to leave."

Ye Haoxuan felt speechless; for the past two days she had almost been glued to Ms.Hua, and yet she said they hadn’t had a proper talk?

"My master said she hadn’t visited me for years because matters at the house had kept her busy. But I think she definitely wasn’t telling me the truth. My master treats me so well, teaching me everything, but unfortunately, I’m too slow to learn much, and my martial arts are just clumsy skills. If it were just about house affairs, there’s no way my master wouldn’t come to see me."

"I suspect something happened at their house, even involving traitors, it’s probably not a small matter. Do you think my master might be in danger on this journey?"

Ye Haoxuan was impressed by how sharp this girl was.

Ms.Hua wasn’t tied up with house affairs but was under someone’s control; how could she come to see her apprentice then? Those times, she probably couldn’t even control her own life or death.

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger." Ye Haoxuan said, "There were indeed some issues in their house before, but they’ve been cleared up now, even the traitors were caught, so how could it be unsafe?"

"Hey? How do you know?"

"This matter is related to Yangyang." He held her hand and said, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yangyang when we get to the Capital City."

Upon hearing this, she partly believed it.

"Alright, your master has so many people by her side and plenty of subordinates who obey her, nothing will happen."

After bidding farewell to Ms.Hua, they left Wayao Town the next day.

Entering the winter months, it became colder and Li Luru, who had always lived in the south, found it hard to adapt.

Even though there were thick blankets and hand warmers in the carriage, it still felt unbearably cold.

Luckily, on the night before the New Year, the carriage arrived outside the Capital City.

"Master, we’re about to enter the city."

"Mm, pick up the pace."

Xiaoyu shouted, "Alright!"

Immediately, someone stepped forward holding a sign, the gate guard officer came, Ye Haoxuan just exchanged a couple of words with him from the carriage, then the driver spurred the horse to enter the city.

Speaking with the officer, his natural imposing presence stunned Li Luru, who was used to bantering with him.

For some reason, she felt inexplicably tense.

Noticing something amiss, Ye Haoxuan smiled and said teasingly, "Little rascal, if you lose your nerve at a time like this, I’ll look down on you!"

Sure enough, motivated by his words, Li Luru glared at him.

Deflated, he smiled, "What’s there to fear, no matter what, I’ve got your back."

Li Luru wanted to say, who’s scared, who’s scared?

But she couldn’t say anything.

"Later, you’ll first rest at my private residence for a night, and tomorrow I’ll take you to Prince An’s Mansion, and the day after we’ll visit Uncle Mu’s estate to seek his medical advice."

Even with a broad mind, Li Luru could hear that something was off in these words; why settle her outside the mansion first? Aren’t they married now?
